El-Rufai granted bail by Federal High Court in Kaduna

Former Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai, has been granted bail by the Federal High Court in Kaduna.
El-Rufai, who appeared before the court on Tuesday, received the ruling on his bail application from Justice Rilwan Aikawa amid tight security within and around the court premises.
The court approved his release on bail pending the continuation of legal proceedings, although details of the bail conditions were not immediately disclosed.
The case, which has attracted significant public and political attention, saw a large presence of supporters and observers at the court as the ruling was delivered.
Legal analysts say the granting of bail allows the former governor to prepare his defence outside custody while the trial progresses.
Observers note that the development marks a key turning point in the case, with further proceedings expected in the coming weeks.
